I lost the plot (not unusual): Have we determined, for sure, that
the problem is 'slippage,' which would most likely be due to wear in
the O/D cone clutch? Or have we determined that Simon's O/D is
'dropping out' which, to my thinking, would be caused by the 8
strong springs overcoming hydraulic pressure (and causing the brake
ring to slip or disengage, no?). <br>

<br>
Spitballing ...<br>
<br>
I went through my BJ8's O/D a few years ago. The car had 64K
miles on it when I bought it (approx. 1984), and about 215K*
miles on it when I did the overhaul. The O/D cone clutch was
serviceable--and AFAIK didn't slip--and I reinstalled it. If new
cone clutches were readily available I <em>might</em> have
bought new, on principle, depending on cost, but all I could
find was a re-manned one from DWM. To me this implied they
didn't often need replacement, whereas known wear items like the
accumulator are offered by several vendors (I would have
installed one with an O-ring if I'd known about it).<br>
<br>
All this to say, unless the car has extremely high mileage
and/or the O/D has been abused somehow I'd be surprised if the
clutch is worn 'to the bone.' Obviously, slippage in the cone
clutch would cause Simon's car's symptoms; if so, the problem
will get progressively worse (and more consistent). I think one
way to test an O/D clutch would be to really lug the car pulling
an uphill grade in 4th-O/D, if the clutch is going to slip it
would do it then (as would a worn engine clutch). There's also a
(remote) possibility that, for some reason, O/D pressure
fluctuates during driving.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Okay, then it is confirmed that
neither the clutch (on the flywheel) nor the
overdrive cone clutch (in it's normal drive

<p class="MsoNormal">From this we can conclude that
even when the overdrive solenoid is <strong><u>not</u></strong>
